## What e-invoicing changes

E-invoicing replaces PDF and paper invoices for B2B and B2G supplies with structured electronic invoices sent through accredited service providers using the Peppol-based five-corner model. Each invoice must contain the mandatory fields in the UAE data dictionary, and the data is shared with the FTA in near real time.

## How to get ready

Start with your data: correct customer TRNs, product codes and units. Then confirm your accounting system can produce the required fields, appoint a provider and run test invoices.
